Runners who Rock

Bless Jack for mentioning me in this fun new meme. I needed the motivation – we’ve had ice here, so no exercise has occurred. But, sun this afternoon should clear the roads for a morning run tomorrow! Of course, then they are saying more ice Sunday. :-(

The Mission:
1. Create a post titled Runners Who Rock.
2. List three runners who rock and tell us why they rock. Make sure you provide a link to their blog!
3. Tell those three runners about the meme and tag them so they can keep it going.
4. Link to runners who rock and to the blogger who tagged you so we get a ping and can keep track of all the participants!

I would put Jack high on my list – despite the weather, swimming, whatever, that man has gone from couch spud to marathoner with lightening speed. His enthusiasm for running is infectious! But since he tagged me and I can’t put him, here is my list:

VJ may not technically be a runner (she’s a walker), but creative ways of incorporating exercise into her lifestyle is always on her brain. She has Christmas lights on her bicycle!

Lynne was one of the first running blogs I ever read. But hers isn’t just a running blog – she hikes and canoes and camps & is generally the kind of outdoorswoman I aspire to be. She can articulate why I love to run. While she doesn't post as often any more, her gems are worth the wait.

Lee again was an early blogger I read who showed me that there are plenty of moms roughly my age out there who are kicking butt in the gym & on the roads. From a lady scared of a bike turned spinning instructor, Lee is proof that you can make your fitness dreams your reality.

Way to go! Reads like these are why I know that while I may struggle with my weight goal, I will NEVER give up my new lifestyle.
